Chapter 2
Daming, outside Fengtian Hall.
Zhu Yuanzhang also led a group of civil and military ministers to watch the vision above.
"It’s interesting, let the emperors of all dynasties see the reasons for their own country’s downfall?"
Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes were sharp, the corners of his mouth slightly curved into a sneer, and he said:
"I wonder what kind of expression the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty and Song Dynasty would have felt when they saw their unfilial descendants? Hearing this, Zhu
Biao coughed lightly and reminded in a low voice:
"Father, let alone the ancestors of the Tang Dynasty and Song Dynasty, our old Zhu family still doesn’t know what kind of unfilial descendants we will have? When Zhu
Yuanzhang heard this, he immediately became unhappy and retorted:
"Can our Lao Zhu family be like those people?"
"We have left the ancestral precepts of the Ming Dynasty to our descendants, and everything is arranged properly. As long as these future generations can follow the ancestral precepts of the Ming Dynasty, our Ming Dynasty will not perish."
Zhu Yuanzhang is very satisfied with his masterpiece.
It is now the twelfth year of Hongwu. After twelve years of perfection, Zhu Yuanzhang thinks that he has governed the Ming Dynasty in an orderly manner. The people live and work in peace and contentment, and the prosperous Ming Dynasty is just around the corner. The people are doing their own thing. Zhu Yuanzhang He believed that as long as the Ming Dynasty was carried out according to the framework he designed, the Ming Dynasty would be immortal, and the old Zhu family would be the emperors of the world for generations. How could there be any crime of subjugation?
Seeing this, Hu Weiyong hurriedly stepped forward and flattered:
"The superiors are wise and powerful, and the people of the world are happy and healthy. The princes are all wise and guard the borders for the Ming Dynasty. Foreigners dare not offend our Ming Dynasty’s divine power."
"With many vassal kings sitting in charge, our country, the Ming Dynasty, will surely last for eternity and endure forever."
As soon as Hu Weiyong finished speaking, a large number of people gathered behind him, agreeing with Hu Weiyong's views and praising Zhu Yuanzhang.
"Oh, is it so?"
When Zhu Yuanzhang saw Hu Weiyong standing up to speak, there was a hint of playfulness in his eyes, and he said softly:
"Wei Yong is worthy of being the Prime Minister of the Ming Dynasty, and his words are very in line with my wishes."
Hu Weiyong had already been in the position of prime minister for six years. It can be said that he held a high position of power, below one person and above ten thousand people.
In the court, Hu Weiyong also recruited a large number of courtiers, who were mutually beneficial to each other. But Zhu Yuanzhang seemed not to notice all this and didn't care at all. He often praised Hu Weiyong in front of officials.
After Zhu Yuanzhang finished praising Hu Weiyong, he looked at Zhu Biao again and continued:
"Go and call your brothers here."
"The causes of national subjugation in the past dynasties are of great reference for you and your brothers. You just take this opportunity to study hard."
"As a lesson learned from the past, I hope you will not make the same mistakes again in the future."
Zhu Biao bowed slightly, and then asked people to call all the vassal princes in Beijing to Fengtian Hall.
At this time, Zhu Di happened to return to the capital to pay homage to Queen Ma, and Zhu Biao also called him.
When all the vassal princes arrived , After that, Zhu Yuanzhang had people set up tables and chairs outside Fengtian Hall, and it seemed that he planned to watch a good show.
Tang Dynasty, Daming Palace
"It was completed, people, a vision came from heaven. What do you think about this?"
Li Yuan looked at the clearly visible light screen above his head, and couldn't help but ask his two sons beside him.
Originally, Li Yuan was summoning civil and military officials in the palace, but he encountered a vision coming from the sky, which frightened him and hurried out to check.
Li Jiancheng was born As the eldest son, he was naturally the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty. When he heard his father's question, he immediately answered:
"Father, I am afraid that God is watching me overthrow the tyrant of the Tang Dynasty, and sent a miracle to make the atrocities of Emperor Sui Yang public to the public, and at the same time reward my father for his achievements in establishing the Tang Dynasty."
"My father raised his troops from Jinyang to attack the unruly and eliminate the tyrant. He will become an emperor for the ages and will be respected by all people. This time he will definitely be rewarded by heaven."
"Hahaha, my son deserves the award."
Li Yuan was so elated by what Li Jiancheng said that he burst into laughter. However, he turned around and saw Li Shimin who was silent at the side. He couldn't help but frown and asked:
"Why was Erlang silent and his face full of sorrow, but what worries did he have? Before Li
Shimin could speak, Li Jiancheng had already said:
"I'm afraid that the father transferred the good brothers around the second brother away, which made the second brother unhappy."
Seeing Li Jiancheng's sinister smile and Li Yuan's slightly raised brows, Li Shimin's heart jumped and he hurriedly explained:
"No, my father, it’s just that when my sons and ministers saw the phrase"the prosperity of the people is suffering, the destruction of the people is suffering," some lamented the people’s misfortune."
"So what do you mean, our father is not good to the people?"
Li Yuanji behind him caught the loopholes in Li Shimin's words and kept applying eye drops to Li Shimin.
Li Shimin was about to continue explaining, but was interrupted by Li Yuan with a wave of his hand:
"You three brothers, please stop arguing. I have my own arrangements for the common people's affairs. Erlang doesn't need to worry too much about it."
"In the future, when your eldest brother succeeds to the throne, he should be the one to worry about it. You will be responsible for training the soldiers well and opening up territories for me."
"The Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty is unparalleled in martial arts and martial arts, and I have you as a great general with great talents in martial arts and civil arts. Our Tang Dynasty will definitely prosper. You brothers must not let any gap come between you!"
"Sons and ministers obey the decree"
"I understand."
Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin looked at each other. Although they were thinking about how to kill each other, they had to pretend to be friendly in front of Li Yuan and the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs at this moment.
